Polish Pupils in Essex Schools: an Electronic Toolkit for Teachers Polish Pupils in Essex Schools: an electronic toolkit for teachers Essex LA and EMTAS have collected and analysed data and information about the county’s minority ethnic pupils for some time. In view of the recent increase in the number of Polish families in Essex, this toolkit provides a range of information for teachers and teaching assistants working with Polish pupils: 1 Aims and Objectives of this Toolkit To provide local and national contextual information To promote the integration and achievement of Polish pupils To give pointers/suggestions for schools for effective practice To disseminate “useful things to know” re Polish language and Polish culture To provide links to relevant resources, including Polish community links in Essex and resources for classroom practice Table of Contents Page No A.

Information about Poland 19 2 Local and National Contextual Information 1. Polish pupils in Essex Essex schools are currently receiving increasing numbers of pupils from Eastern Europe including Poland as Polish parents find employment in the UK and are keen for their children to take advantage of educational opportunities. In Essex, the 2011 pupil census identified 1794 East European pupils in LA controlled schools. Polish speakers are currently the largest single group among this cohort, accounting for around 35-30% of all East European pupils across key stages. At present, Polish immigration into Essex is estimated to be growing by around 20%, year-on-year. Although overall numbers are unlikely to become statistically significant, it will be important for schools to be able to address the needs of Polish pupils and to support their attainment across all key stages. While some Polish pupils join Essex schools in Nursery or Foundation Stage, others may arrive at particularly sensitive points in their educational career e.g. during upper Key Stage 2 or during Key Stage 4. The highest proportions of early stage learners of English, relative to more advanced EAL learners, are found among Polish pupils in Nursery and Foundation Stage settings. Although early stage EAL learners still feature strongly at Key Stage 1, the number of more advanced EAL learners also increases dramatically for this age group, calling for adjustments in the methodology of EAL support. At Key Stage 2 and above the overwhelming majority of Polish pupils are more advanced learners of EAL with only a small proportion still in the early stages of English language acquisition. At Key Stages 3 and 4, overall numbers of Polish students decrease somewhat, potentially indicating a tendency for Polish families to come to the UK when their children are still young. On the other hand, early stage learners of EAL will require appropriate, personalised and sustained EAL support in order to gain access to the curriculum and to achieve optimal results. In addition to what is shown in the following tables, there is also a very small number of ‘late arrivals’ from Poland at Key Stage 5 who currently classify as early stage learners of EAL and will thus require EAL support and scaffolding in order to succeed. 3 The following charts show the levels of English language acquisition attained by Polish pupils whose schools returned data to ECC in October 2012. No EAL stages were returned for a small number of pupils. ECC statistics do not currently include returns from academies. early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of FS pupils Pre- AREA in FS Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 15 7 5 1 2 0 0 0 West 43 29 7 1 3 2 0 1 Mid 39 16 12 8 2 1 0 0 North-East 15 9 1 1 3 1 0 0 Total Total Total Pupils early more 112 stage 97 advanced 15 early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of KS1 pupils Pre- AREA in KS1 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 25 4 6 4 3 7 0 1 West 46 4 6 4 17 10 3 2 Mid 53 8 14 8 12 7 2 2 North-East 52 11 15 8 6 8 2 2 Total Total Total Pupils early more 176 stage 92 advanced 84 early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of pupils Lower in KS2 Lower Pre- AREA KS2 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 17 0 1 2 2 1 5 6 West 32 1 2 2 5 13 1 8 Mid 35 1 2 3 11 7 5 6 North- East 41 2 2 5 10 14 1 7 Total Total Total Pupils early more 125 stage 23 advanced 102 4 early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of pupils Upper in KS2 Upper Pre- AREA KS2 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 17 0 0 1 0 2 8 6 West 28 0 5 1 1 1 4 16 Mid 47 2 2 0 6 6 23 8 North- East 30 1 0 6 2 13 1 7 Total Total Total Pupils early more 122 stage 18 advanced 104 early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of KS3 pupils Pre- AREA in KS3 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 18 0 0 1 2 2 4 9 West 26 2 2 2 4 4 3 9 Mid 30 1 0 2 2 4 11 10 North- East 29 0 1 1 3 6 2 16 Total Total Total Pupils early more 103 stage 12 advanced 91 early stage learners of EAL more advanced learners of EAL No of KS4 pupils Pre- AREA in KS4 Step 1 Step 1 Step 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 South 10 0 0 0 0 0 2 8 West 6 0 1 1 0 1 0 3 Mid 18 1 0 0 2 4 2 9 North- East 17 0 0 0 3 3 2 9 Total Total Total Pupils early more 51 stage 3 advanced 48 2. Polish communities in the UK Many of Britain’s Polish communities began with the movement of people across Europe in the wake of World War II. During the years of communism in Poland the UK served as a base for political refugees. Since the start of Poland’s EU membership in 2004, Polish immigrants have utilised their right of free movement across the EU to live and work in the UK among other countries. When interviewed, young Poles have expressed a strong appreciation of Europe’s democratic institutions and of the way in which the EU as a whole is able to uphold and safeguard the democratic process, civil liberties and human rights in ways which could not be achieved by individual countries without the EU’s connectivity. 5 Polish communities currently exist in London and in Britain’s major industrial centres. It is estimated that around 515,000 Polish citizens currently live and work in the UK. Young people from Poland are particularly keen to take advantage of the educational opportunities which exist in West European countries including the UK. Many view their country’s culture with strong affection yet see themselves as more European than nationalistic. Social profiles are similar to those of most immigrant communities, showing a majority of Poles working in professional or senior management positions. A substantial minority has taken on work below their level of qualification, reflecting a search for employment opportunities in view of current weaknesses in Poland’s own infrastructure. In line with this and typically for an immigrant community, Polish residents show a markedly low uptake of UK benefits or social housing. A Polish shop in the UK In addition to filling gaps in the UK labour market, Polish communities are making contributions to Britain’s cultural life London life through film, media, literature, sport and the arts. 3. Famous Poles in Europe While it is hoped that the following names will inspire teachers and students, it should be noted that this list is in no way exhaustive and that many more Polish names could be added. Britain: Polish businessmen have included Sir Jack Cohen, the founder of Tesco, who was the son of Polish immigrants, and Michail Marks, who was one of the two co-founders of the retail chain Marks & Spencer. Britain: Actress Lysette Anthony is of Polish descent and Daniel Finkelstein, Comment Editor of The Times is also of Polish origin as is the comedienne, actress and singer Tracey Ullman. Other famous Poles are Arsenal's goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny; Jan Pieńkowski, illustrator of children's books; Joseph Conrad, novelist; Leopold Stokowski, orchestral conductor, well known for his innovative performing style. Britain: Among politicians, Ed and David Miliband have one Polish parent.

Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment.

  • Polish Migrant Families' Practice of First Communion and Negotiation
    Central and Eastern European Migration Review Received: 30 April 2017, Accepted: 7 May 2018 Published online: 13 June 2018 Vol. 7, No. 2, 2018, pp. 165–183 doi: 10.17467/ceemr.2018.03 ‘White Dress, Guests and Presents’: Polish Migrant Families’ Practice of First Communion and Negotiation of Catholic Identities in Wales Aleksandra Kaczmarek-Day* This article examines how migration to Wales modifies Polish Catholic families’ religious practices. It focuses on how the First Communion ceremony is performed. Within the Polish migrant community I witnessed three distinct ways of arranging this. Some families travelled to Poland to their parish churches of origin. Of those who celebrated it in Wales, some did so in a Polish church, others in their children’s Catholic school’s church. These choices had different effects. Holding First Communion in Poland confirmed children’s Polish identity and home-country bonds. It exemplified both the fluidity of the families’ intra-European migration experience and the strength of transnational networking. Hold- ing it in the local Polish parish reinforced both families’ and childrens’ identification as Polish Catho- lics. In the school’s church, it strengthened migrant families’ negotiations of belonging and their children’s integration into the Welsh locality. Mothers’ active involvement in all settings led some to contest Polish religious customs and revealed emerging identifications related to children’s wellbeing and belonging. Unlike arrangements traditional in Poland, families’ religious practices in Wales seem to have become more individual, less collective. Keywords: Polish migrants; Wales; mothers; Catholic identity; First Communion ritual Introduction In this age of migration, migrants’ religious affiliations help our understanding of their integration processes and interactions with local populations (Saunders, Fiddian-Qasmiyeh and Snyder 2016).

Guarantee of Religious Practices as a Part of the Cultural Security of Polish-Speaking Catholics Living in Germany. Czech-Polish Historical and Pedagogical Journal, 10/2, 65–76. https://doi.org/10.5817/cphpj-2018-015 The paper deals with three problematic threads, i.e. defining cultural security, the issue of legal guarantees due to a national minority in a foreign country, and the results of a research conducted among the Polish community in Germany. Field research was conducted using a technique of questionnaire interviews in the community associated with two Polish diaspora organizations: Polish Catholic Mission in Hamburg and Gazeta Polska (“Polish Newspaper”) in Hamburg. The aim of the discussion is to answer the following question: do Polish-speaking Catholics, representing the national minority in Germany, perceive threats to their own religious practices? The results of the research have highlighted the perspective of representatives with extreme and moderate views on the right to manifest religious identity in Germany. Key words: religion; church; minority; Catholics Culture and religion are an essential and universal attribute of human
